Default What IJN asset do you dread the most?

What escort/plane etc do you dread dealing with the most?

I dread the Type A/B escorts and the Akizuki Destroyer(Later War) Dread Bettys the most as far as planes go, they are fast.

The expert Type A/Bs that lie in wait in the Formosa Strait late in the war provide some tension. If my dog farts in the other room they come running.

You nearly cost me a laptop with that comment. I was taking a big swig out of my bottle of water when I read that. It took a supreme effort to keep from spraying that water all over my laptop.

Not fear, just you lnow certain types are top notch and have plenty of charges.I mean an aux subchaser with its one charge rack is and seemingly crappy sonar is nothing to worry about compared to a type AB with its many y guns and racks.

I guess, for me, it would be the Akizukis. They always seem to be manned by experienced crewmen and their sound detection seems to be higher grade than the others. The only thing about those pesky aux subchasers is, those little buggers are exceptionally hard to sink, with DG or torps.
